G60 PAS belt removal

[Kick Up The Rs 0]

Trying to get my PAS belt off so I can get my serpentine belt off.

 

Slackened the adjuster and the two bolts that SHOULD allow the pump to slide plus the allen bolt a bit further up that secures the alloy plate but no joy.

 

Any ideas? Or am I doing something daft?

 

Please help

it may just be corroded remove all the bolts and take it right off clean it up and stick it back on.

for the record, there's a hidden bolt which holds the pump on.

 

It runs across the front of the engine (ie the head is towards the right of the engine with the thread towards the left when viewed from the front of the car) and is INSIDE the power steering bracket which bolts onto the engine. If you look at the front of the engine, you'll see that the bracket has a curved bit on it along the front, put your finger behind that towards the pump and you'll find the hidden bolt head.... ;)
